It's mine!, Lew's car Options

[billh1963]

I have long been coveting a nice California "rust free" '73 2.0 with FI. After several weeks of waiting I am concluding the deal to buy Lew's 914. As you may remember from the classifieds ad, Lew (whom I never met, unfortunately) passed away last spring. With the help of Kent (and Ethan) I am now the proud new owner.

To top it off, I am planning a big adventure! In early January I plan to fly to California and drive the car back across the country. I have never driven across country before...let alone in a 40 year old car! I'll share more details as they get more defined and as time gets closer.

In the meantime, here is the picture of the car with Lew.

The English language is strange at times.

Actually its's an apostrophe ( ' )


Also, when describing the year of a vehicle, only the '80s would use 'an', as in "It's an '84 ...".

All other years use 'a' - "it's a '20", "it's a '90", etc.


In any event, enjoy the car and the trip, Bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I always have issues when someone abbreviates the year incorrectly (e.g. 74').

So, you really have a 914 that is 74 feet long? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

It would be:
So, you really have a 914 that is 74 foot long?
or
So, you really have a 914 that is 74 feet in length?
